What color is Benjamin Moore Summer Melon?
Benjamin Moore Summer Melon 2168-50 is a light, creamy peach with a clear warm cast and a soft blush-pink influence. Its pale value keeps the color airy on broad walls, while the peach tone remains noticeable rather than fading into an off-white. In bright daylight, Summer Melon can read fresh and lightly apricot; under warm evening bulbs, it takes on a richer, more rosy warmth. It suits bedrooms, powder rooms, and breakfast areas where a gentle wash of color feels more considered than beige. Pair it with warm white trim, pale oak, woven natural fibers, or muted sage and dusty blue accents for contrast.

LRV of Summer Melon
Summer Melon has an LRV of 65.18% and refers to Light colors that reflect most of the incident light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 65.18%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
